EYDBGCABBON-BURNER Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented June 2, 1914.

To all w-iom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jarras Hamswon'rn, a citizen of Great Britain, havingl declared my intention of becoming a citizen of the United States, residing at Oatman, in the count)r of Mohave and State of Arizona, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

M y invention relates to that class of burners m which liquid hydrocarbon and steam or air are intermingled at or near the in outh of the burner and the object the rec f 1s to provide a burner in which the hquid fuel and steam or air are thoroughly commmgled and atomized whereb the Greatest eiliciency is obtained from e fuel:`

A. further object is to provide a burner which is cheap= simple in construction and operation and will not become clogged.

I accomplish these objects by the device described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof in which:

Figure 1 is a central vertical s ectaon, partly in elevation of my device. F ..2 1s a section on the line 2-2 of F1g. 1. 1g. 3 is a di atie view of my device as connected to the oil and steam supplies in use.

My device consists preferably of an annular casing 5 provided with a bottom plate 6 referabl integral therewith and a cap plte 7 which forms a mixing chamber 8. Plates 6 and 7 are provided centrally thereof with hubs or boss 9 and 10 having 1nteriorl grew-threaded openings therethro in which are received the ends o f a fuel supply member 11. At one side casing 5 is rovided with a nozzle12 in w 'ch is cut a burner opening 13 which opens into mixing chamber 8. This burner opening consists preferablv of a narrow rectangular slit which extends from the outer end of the nozzle into mixing chamber 8. A steam inlet 14 isprovided in casing 5 at a point nearly opposite onel side of the nozzle and is connected by pipe 15 to a steam supply (not shown).

Fuel supply member 11 is preferably a piece of s v having screw threads cut on each end an a collar 16 integral therewith near the lower end thereof which collar is received in a recess 17 in the bottom late tofcasin v5. Thethreaded endso the fuel supp y member extend through the openings in hubs 9 and 10 in threaded engagement therewith and are further secured by nuts on tlie ends. A fuel inlet 18 extends longitudinally and centrally of member 11 from one end to near the center where it is connected by a transverse opening 19 with an annular Groove 20 cut in the outer periphery of said member. A mixing wheel comprising a hub 21 having radially extending arms or paddles 22 is mounted to rotate upon member 11. Hub 21 is provided intermediate the paddles 22 with inlet ports 23 which ports connect chamber 8 with oroove 20 in member 11. The outer end of inlet 18 is connected by pipe 24 with a fuel supply (not shown).

In the operation of my device oil will be admitted under suitable ressure into pipe 24 and through the fuel inlets into mixing chamber 8. At the same time steam will be admitted also under suitable pressure into suppl 'pipe 15 and passes through inlet 14 into c amber 8 where it impinges upon paddles 22 and causes them to rotate thereby thoroughly mixing with the fuel and atomizing the same and forcing the mixture by centrifugal force out through burner open- 13. m-Vhile I have shown and described my device as bein adapted to liquid fuel and steam it understood that it is y adapted to liquid fuel and air and I o not limit myself to such use.

Having described my invention what I claim is:

1 A hydrocarbon burner com rising a c lmdrical casing provided wi a fan aped burner nozzle on the periphery thereof extending outwardly therefrom; an annular mixing chamber in said a narrow elongated burner opening exten transversely through said nozzle and communicating with said mixing chamber; a tangential steam inlet in the walls of said casing; a supply member passing transversely through said mixing chamber and secured to the top and bottom walls thereof; a rotatable paddle-wheel mounted on said supply member within said casing; a fuel inlet extendingV longitudinally of said supply member from one end to near the center thereof; and connections from said fuel inlet to the mixi chamber between each of the blades of sai paddle-wheel.

2. A hydrocarbon burner comprising a cylindrical casing lrovided with a burner nozzle on `the perip ery thereof and a cir cular d chamber therein; a mixture outlet exten o through said nozzle and communicating with salci mixin chamber; a tangential expansble uuid infer, for said chamber in the walls of said casing; a fuel supply member extending transversely through said mixing chamber and secured to the top and bottom walls thereof;,a rotatablle padilee wzle momted upmsaid supp mem rmsal caslng vinga of paddles, the edges of which are d-Pt mctactfwhinih "mu-Sd Said xmxmg c r, a u e 1n sal y member and connections irom said fuelup et to said vchamberbetweeneachofthe blades of sai paddle wheel.

3. A. hydrocarbon burner oom rising a lindrical casing having a circ rotor ber therein; a rotatable paddle-wheel mounted in said chamber in contact with the walls thereof and being adapted to form a plurality of independent mixing chambers therein; said gzddle Wheel having ahub; an inlet cham r within said hub; a fuel inlet o enng into said chamber at one side thereo a connection from said chamber into each of said 0r chambersa tangental expansible fluid mlet in said casing adapted to communicate with each of said mixing chambers .at predetermined times and a burner opening in said casing communicating with said rotor chamber.

In witness that I claim the forego' I have hereunto subscribed my namemiis 30th day of September, 1913.
